I'd love to find some video of the early 2000s, because Russell "The Muscle" Branyan is in the top 5 twive I believe at Miller Park for some massive drives.

I was trying to find a direct video for this shot but this was the only way I could find it so far. Click on the link, then click on the 1990's tab and click on the video on the bottom named Mighty Mike.

i know it wasnt in a real game, but josh hamilton in the home run derby @ old yankee stadium is definitely worth a look.

Man if someone can find the home run Glenallen Hill hit at Wrigley Field that went across the street and onto the roof of the building....that was one of the longer ones I ever witnessed.

It's in my post above.

Nice! I remember watching that home run live on TV. Could not believe how far it went.

I remember a HR from awhile back that I've always wanted to see again. Richie Sexson as a D-Back crushing one to center and hits his own picture on the screen. Maybe busting something on the screen as well.

Didn't Galarraga annihiliate a Kevin Brown pitch once in Florida?

Actually, found both of them here on this cool page, but I can't find any video because of MLB being mean:
